[팟캐스트] (702) 재테크, 임장 영어로?

'No hope on my salary': Young South Koreans turn to early investing 진행자: 최정윤, Chelsea Proctor 기사 요약: 그 어느 때보다 빨리 노후 대비를 시작하고 있는 대한민국 청년들, 지금 월급으로는 평생 모아도 집을 못 산다는 두려움에 그들이 선택한 재테크 전략은? [1] Twenty-eight-year-old Kim goes on a five-hour trip to Ulsan, or any other region, as soon as she gets off work on a weekday. Not for sightseeing or to visit friends, but for property viewing. "I get off work at 6 p.m. then head to Seoul Station to go for 'imjang' — a Korean term for site visit or field research on real estate properties — in different regions," she told The Korea Herald. property viewing: 집 보기, 임장 real estate property: 부동산 [2] Over the past two years, Kim has spent 10 million won (about $7,400) on investment courses. What she learned was simple, if sobering: With her current income, saving will never buy her a home. Investing is her only option. sobering: 번쩍 정신이 들게 하는, 심각[진지]하게 만드는 investment know-how: 재테크 노하우 [3] Among her preferred strategies is a method known as 'gap investment,' which leverages Korea's unique "jeonse" lease system. Under a jeonse lease, tenants pay a lump-sum deposit, often 60 to 80 percent of the home's value, instead of monthly rent. Landlords hold the deposit during the lease, usually to earn interest from a bank, and return it in full at the end of the contract. leverage: ~을 유리하게 사용하다, ~을 담보로 하다 lump sum: 일시불, 일시불로 지불하는 금액 deposit: 보증금 [4] Through this approach, Kim now owns two apartments in Ulsan worth 600 million won, having put up only 100 million won of her own money. To acquire what she has now, Kim has spent every weekend walking over 20 kilometers each day to study neighborhoods — their environments, schools, and proximity to public transportation and other facilities — all the elements that factor into buying a house.

[팟캐스트] (694) 쏟아지는 대선 공약, 위기인구 대책은 어디에?

진행자: 최정윤, Devin Whiting Clock is ticking, but demographic crisis gets drowned out in presidential race 기사 요약: 이른 대선을 앞두고 대통령 후보들이 여러 공약을 선보였던 가운데, 저출산과 초고령 사회로의 진입 등 한국의 심각한 인구 위기에 대한 공약이 부족하다는 의견 많아 [1] The compounding challenges of South Korea's low birth rate and the onset of a super-aged society have drawn little focus on the presidential campaign trail for the June 3 presidential election. The numbers alone underscore the urgency of strategically and systemically confronting the demographic crisis. compounding: 복합적인 onset: 시작 [2] South Korea's fertility rate was recorded at 0.75 in 2024, meaning the average South Korean woman is expected to have fewer than one child in her lifetime. Still, the country found a sliver of relief in the data, as 2024 marked the first time in nine years that the birth rate had not declined. sliver: 조각 [3] At the same time, however, the nation officially transitioned into a 'super-aged society' in December 2024 — a milestone that arrived earlier than expected. Observers called for a more holistic approach to devising campaign promises that tackle these demographic challenges, saying the next five years would be crucial to determining the country's fate. They warned that South Korea might otherwise be plagued by a range of social problems: the demise of remote rural areas, a workforce shortage, weaker military strength and a pension fund crisis, among other things. milestone: 중요한 단계 holistic: 전체적인 plague: 괴롭히다, 성가시게 하다 /전염병 demise: 종말, 죽음 기사 원문: [코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독] 아이튠즈(아이폰): 네이버 오디오 클립(아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용):

The segment had not yet aired as of press time, but the photo ignited chatter across social media and news platforms. spot-on: 딱 맞는, 정확한 impersonation: 흉내 [3] 'The broadcaster approached us first,' said an official from Han's campaign. 'With the election coming up, they clearly saw ratings potential. Han also saw it as a good opportunity for exposure. Especially with satire, you can't avoid politically sensitive themes — and if you can't avoid them, sometimes the best strategy is to confront them head-on.'
